How To Run It

Grab the latest published cardhunterutils.jar file from our Card Hunter Forums thread. Get a fairly recent version of Java, if you don't have one already.

Mix lightly in a command prompt, separating ingredients with spaces ( ). Add the java first, followed by -jar. Finally, add the path to the downloaded cardhunterutils.jar file. Press enter and serve immediately.

We'll get builds published here on Github... you know, ... Real Soon Now.

ALSO: For the utmost in gorgeous card art, make sure you have a non-crappy version of the Garamond font installed. We highly recommend the beautiful Garamond No. 8, available as a free download here. This Garamond, on the other hand, is hella crappy. We warned you.

Can I Help?

Yup. See below for getting started as a developer.

Developer Setup

For Windows:

Follow the steps in this guide to get a Java development environment.

Note:

One small gotcha is that the Maven cmd, mvn, gets unhappy if the path you are running from has no spaces or is a drive root.

If you're planning to work in such a path as your dev folder, work around this by modifying the mvn.cmd file in %MAVEN_HOME%\bin\mvn.cmd as follows:

1. Find the line that starts with

   %MAVEN_JAVA_EXE% %JVM_CONFIG_MAVEN_PROPS% %MAVEN_OPTS%

2. Remove the quotes around

`"-Dmaven.multiModuleProjectDirectory=%MAVEN_PROJECTBASEDIR%"`

So that it becomes

`-Dmaven.multiModuleProjectDirectory=%MAVEN_PROJECTBASEDIR%`

For Mac OSX:

Install the latest Java JDK.

1. Set your JAVA_HOME variable in your shell's rc file (e.g. .zshrc):

   export JAVA_HOME=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_51.jdk/Contents/Home

   (Note your Java SDK version may be different)

2. Install ant and maven via brew:

   brew install ant

   brew install maven

   (you may need to brew update before you do these)

3. Set your MAVEN_HOME variable in your rc file as well:

   export MAVEN_HOME=/usr/local/Cellar/maven/3.3.3

(If you didn't install ant via homebrew, you will also need to set your ANT_HOME variable to wherever your manual ant install lives. For whatever reason, homebrew doesn't set it, because homebrew doesn't like that.

Confirming Environment

You should now be able to run the following:

echo %JAVA_HOME% (Win) or echo $JAVA_HOME (OSX)

ant -version

mvn -version

and see happy responses.
